	Ordinarily a Sisters Repentia finds absolution in death; by blindly charging the nearest enemy. As hilarious as it is to picture a bunch of semi-nude nuns bull rushing a [[carnifex]] or a [[baneblade]] through a hail of gunfire, it is, admittedly, a fucking badass way to die.

	Because it's so uncommon and the magnitude of responsibility so great, Sisters who want to take the oath have to be vetted by their superiors to judge the validity and intention of the oath. Presumably to make certain that the Sister is not going to throw her life away in the first engagement and actually accomplish nothing, but also to ensure that the weight of sin is actually something worth atoning for and not just some imaginary or minor transgression ''(as with Repentia)''.

	Sisters Oblatia swear similar oaths to Repentia, they undertake similar rites of self-mortification, fasting and meditation. When they take up the mantle of penitent they are viewed as dead and gone by their former companions. However given the uniqueness of their oath, they are NOT stripped, shaved, bundled into Repentia squads, and whipped into glorious battle. Instead they are left to their own devices to determine how to pay the debt they have taken responsibility for.

Very rarely ''(as in, we know of one case -Saint Celestine)'' a Repentia can have a divine epiphany and ascend to a [[Living Saint]]. Presumably at which point her oath is fulfilled, because she now has a higher purpose. Should she ever flee from battle on the other hand, she will be condemned to being forced into a [[Mortifier]] for the rest of her miserable existence.

	And...then 8th edition dropped. Okay...no more rage. They get Shield of Faith, and Acts of Faith. They have a 3+ WS...except Eviscerators give 'em a -1 penalty. So, 4+. Two attacks, one wound, armor save is 7+. Their eviscerator, though? That makes it. Strength X2, for 6 total means they hit a Marines equivalent on 3+, AP-2 means they can negate a Nob's armor save. But leaves them less then that all-important x2 toughness, and just one short of equaling a Dreadnought's armor. All in all? They're cheap. And the new Detachments system means slots aren't as important.		And...then 8th edition dropped. Okay...no more rage. They get Shield of Faith, and Acts of Faith.

	Meanwhile? The Mistress of Repentia now takes up her OWN slot! Her Neural whips gain +1 to wound if she has higher leadership...but since she's 5+ on a Marine Equivalent? That just makes her decent. AP-2 means she almost nullifies weaker armor, and she has some grenades. Still...she can reroll failed Shield of Faith checks, which is awesome. But JUST her. And, ANY Soritas within six inches can reroll Advance, Charges, AND Hits...And she herself counts. Pity her problem isn't HITTING.		Meanwhile? The Mistress of Repentia now takes up her OWN slot!

	Because it's so uncommon and the magnitude of responsibility so great, Sisters who want to take the oath have to be vetted by their superiors to judge the validity and intention of the oath. Presumably to make certain that the Sister is not going to throw her life away in the first engagement and actually accomplish nothing, but also to ensure that the weight of sin is actually something worth atoning for and not just some imaginary or minor transgression ''(as with Repentia)''.

	Sisters Oblatia swear similar oaths to Repentia, they undertake similar rites of self-mortification, <strike>fisting</strike> fasting and meditation. When they take up the mantle of penitent they are viewed as dead and gone by their former companions. However given the uniqueness of their oath, they are NOT stripped, shaved, bundled into Repentia squads, and whipped into glorious battle. Instead they are left to their own devices to determine how to pay the debt they have taken responsibility for.

	Some end up in service to the [[Inquisition]], finding that the balance of repayments comes a lot quicker while hunting heretics, xenos or daemons directly. Though likely most just become wandering Sisters who attach themselves to warzones or crusades and help out where they can.
